Newcastle, William Cavendish, 1st duke

Newcastle (-upon-Tyne), William Cavendish, 1st duke of

(born c. 1593—died Dec. 25, 1676, Welbeck, Nottinghamshire, Eng.) British Royalist commander in the English Civil Wars. Through inheritances and royal favour, he became very wealthy. In 1642 he was given command of the four northern English counties and raised the siege of York (1642). After the Royalist defeat at the Battle of Marston Moor, he left England for France and Holland. He returned at the Restoration and regained his estates. A patron of poets and dramatists, he also wrote several comedies.
